چکیده
METHODS. A population-based survey examined 3654 people aged 49 years or older, 82% of whom were permanent residents in an area west of Sydney, Australia. Participants had a detailed eye examination, including standardized refraction and stereo macular photographs. ARM was diagnosed from blinded photographic grading. Autorefractor measurements and subjective refraction were used to assess SEq refractive error for each eye in diopters. Mean SEq of the two eyes was used to define emmetropia, myopia, and hyperopia in each person.

متن کاملEstrogen receptor alpha and matrix metalloproteinase 2 polymorphisms and age-related maculopathy in older women.
In this study, the authors sought to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) genes are associated with age-related maculopathy (ARM) in older women. Subjects comprised a random sample of Caucasian women aged > or =74 years participating in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures year 10 follow-up (n = 906) in 1997...
